BASHERT

ba·shert /bəˈSHert/ noun (in Jewish use) a person's soulmate, especially when considered as an ideal or predestined marriage partner. In March of 2018, Felicia messaged Ilana on Instagram. She wanted to learn about Ilana's job - being a Child Guardian on Broadway. They decided to meet at Ground Central in Hell's Kitchen which was a block away from Felicia's apartment and a block away from where Ilana was working at the time. Ilana left their "meeting" and knew it was bashert. A few days later was Felicia's favorite holiday, St. Patrick's Day (yes, her dream is to be Irish!). To celebrate, she invited Ilana to join her and her best friend, Marisa, to hang out on the UWS at E's Bar. Felicia specifically said to Ilana, "Let's go out on the UWS and look for some nice Jewish boys." Well, low and behold, no Jewish boys were found (#NJB) but their instant connection was. After their "first date," it was pretty clear where their "friendship" was heading. If they weren't hanging out, they were texting or facetiming. It wasn't too long before they realized they were each other's soulmates and more than "just friends." Thankfully, that DM (direct message) on Instragram led them to a happily ever after and each other's #NJG. The end. P.S. Now they live together on the UWS (where it all started) with their dog, Starbie, named after Starbucks (#coffee).
